Member Testimonials
Good quality swim education at a reasonable rate. Great teachers and wonderful facility.
My daughter LOVES her swim class and is getting more comfortable in the water.
Great staff understanding teachers
Swim lessons are conducted professionally, I like the mid-term feedback, and coaches are all enthusiastic and engaged.
I like the hot tub and sauna. I am always greeted warmly by name when I come in. there is lots of equipment to use.
Trainer is amazing. Kids are loving it
everything, the staff is amazing, my son enjoys the facilities to the fullest because there is always someone nice to help us
Aqua classes. Wish there were more though.
Sports
The programs and classes are great. The instructors are all well trained. I was just informed last Friday during the stretch class that Angie wants to move it upstairs to the Yoga room. Not a good ideal due to the Yoga room being to small for how popular her class is. Also most of participance take the following class Land Fitness which will make it hard to get a spot in the class since it is so popular.
Staff here is friendly and more helpful than other local YMCAs in the area. The Kids Club is outstanding, the staff really cares about your kids and enjoys being with them. The swim coaches that give group lessons are also outstanding.
Front desk staff is friendly. Registration is smooth. Thanks.
I love the group exercise classes and adding more classes would be a bonus. Having more times frames available for classes would yield more community participation that would lead to a healthier community.
Lots of variety in classes and days/times. Would love to have a U Jam class added. Used to have, and other Ys offer.
There are many choices.
Classes
Stretching room, treadmill, gym
Variety of classes at different times, plus individual use of machines and weights.
Only YMCA in the Southbay that has swimming lessons.
The diversity of classes, the people, the facilities and the value
Low stress, calming place to get exercise
Love all the programs I’ve attended so far during my first 2 weeks but I particularly like Zumba with Hector and Kelly, and body balance.
The instructors and front desk staff are really supportive and motivating.
I haven’t participated in any lecturers or seminars yet but will try.
That it is kid friendly
I toured the central YMCA in San Jose for the first time recently the staff were very kind and took me on the tour since I have recently relocated to the San Jose area I'm not sure for how long though I'd like to thank them for the tour and I hope I'm able to use the facility soon. Thank you Central YMCA.
The pool!
Zumba. Yoga. Swimming
Staff, rich assortment, resaonable price, proximity, working hours.
Diversity; good, knowledgeable instructors; flexible times
Handball courts are well kept and in great condition.

I like swimming classes. But I think that coach doesn’t always pay attention to all kids. Sometimes I notice he tries to pay more attention to kids who are easier to teach. I think they must pay equal attention to all kids.
